Dickens's historical novel of the French Revolution, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition
After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.

查爾斯·狄更斯(Charles Dickens)生於1812年,卒於1870年。《雙城記》(A Tale of Two Cities)發錶於1859年,是他創作成熟時期的代錶作之一。 《雙城記》在問世之甫即遭到種種奚落。有傳聞說狄更斯在閱讀《星期六評論》上對《雙城記》的抨擊之後,竟然昏迷不醒,臥病數月。...

評分“這是最好的時代,也是最壞的時代。”《雙城記》開篇第一句話被無數次引用。但我猜知道這句話的人並一定小說《雙城記》講述瞭一個怎麼樣的故事,也不知道這句話為何而說。如果想理解這句話的原意,以及為何說寫齣這句經典名句,那自然是要讀讀原著的。 “---簡而...
評分我隻想聊聊Carton,他是整部小說我唯一深愛的人物。當然,相信還有很多其他有自虐傾嚮、自卑情結、柏拉圖情結的讀者愛他。 狄更斯本人一定也偏愛他,所以對他的描寫纔費盡心機。《雙城記》的人物性格大多比較單純,從齣場那一刻就一目瞭然:露西是溫柔賢良的;曼內特醫生是滄...
